PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took some first-team reps during Mondays practice, a positive sign as the team prepares for the?Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.Roethlisberger, who underwent surgery to repair a torn left meniscus on Oct. 17, moved well in the pocket and threw with authority while running the no-huddle offense, right tackle Marcus Gilbert said.Ben looked really good, Gilbert said. Ben is a competitor. Never count him out. Were optimistic where he stands right now. As far as him being healthy, 100 percent, thats where I want him to be. Seeing that is very encouraging.The Steelers (4-3) will prepare Landry Jones for his second consecutive start in case Roethlisberger cant play. Jones threw for 281 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a Week 7 loss to the New England Patriots.Roethlisberger wasnt available for comment after practice.

You cant replace Ben Roethlisberger. Hes one of the greatest.The winner of Sundays game would take sole possession of first place in the AFC North.Well prepare as if hes going to play, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday. Well operate under that assumption.Baltimore, however, wont be scrambling if Jones starts on Sunday.The offense doesnt change that much if Landry Jones is in there, Harbaugh said.
